What are the out-of-the-box Django chat solutions?

Question

Django

I decided to make a chat for a site on Django. It is required to implement a chat for users so that each user can start a private chat with another friend added. Google gives either very old solutions or solutions for mass chats. Reluctance to reinvent the wheel, so I decided to ask: are there ready-made solutions for Django 1.7? And if not, what would you recommend? And would it be a good solution to implement chat only with regular Django tools? Those. write all messages to the database, and then just update the chat with ajax. And there is something to read on the implementation of this?

Answer 1

For chat, it's better to use something asynchronous like Tornado + SocksJS

Answer 2
